THE SONG BIRD
I feel a song bird in my breast
It feebly flatters and will not rest.
It ever longs its vringc to try
But iU wines are weak it cannot fly.
Its toico is faint, one piping note
Conies from its feeble half-formed throat
And this imtierfect, monotonous song
This bird keeps singing all day long.
lerhas the bird may grow some day.
And bo strong enough to fly away,
I'crhaiis its feeble notes belong
To some full-throated, matchless song.
Perhaps the bird its wings may try
Or weekly soar and fall and dio.
But still it flutters in my breast
And faintly chirps and will not rest.
Some birds soar free and grand and strong
Some birds pour forth a matchless song
And some die chirping in the neat "
God made them all and lie knows best.

stands tolerably well the reason for the
bolt. There is a considerable number
of democrats in this state who beliore
in taking their politics in substantially
the same manner that the true bourbon
takes his whisky straight. They have
always opposed fusion in any form, and
when a year ago the state convention of
the democratic party endorsed or nom
inated Holcomb, and thereby placed
the party in a position to be walked
over by the populists, the straight dem
ocrats objected and withdrew. The
state bad been seriously injured by it6
attack of populism, and they did not
propose to lend themselves to any at
tempt to further advance the cause of
the populists. And, moreover, they did
not care to be put in the position of en
dorsing free silver when they have con
trary views. It is a fact, as the World
Herald says, that the "straight" demo
crats are ,'argely in the minority.

THIS AND THAT.
Governor Holcomb occasionally rises
from the slough of hybrid partisan poli
tics and makes a graceful exhibition of
broadmindedness. His letter of com
mendation to the retiringdeputy attorney
general, Mr. Summers, reflects credit
upon his good sense and fairness. There
are some pretty good things about this
man of chow-chow politics.
The democratic situation is thus sized
up by the World-Herald: "It is well
for the democrats of Nebraska to under
stand that the effort which is being
made by the bolters to keep up the pre
tense of an organization has for its only
purpose the sending of a contesting
delegation to the next national conven
tion. They have not the slightest
shadow of a right to represent the demo
cratic party, but they base their hope
upon the belief that the gold bugs, if in
control of the national convention, will
admit the bolting delegation regardless
of the merits of the case. The ostensi
ble reason of the bolt was the nomina
tion of Governor Holcomb, but the real
reason was the failure of a few leaders
To run the democratic party as they had
done in the past. Just now they pre
tend great interest in the money" ques
tion because they can secure the support
of a few federal office holders On that
kind of a platform, but the real motive
back of the bolters 16 the desire to assist
the republican party in maintaining its
supremacy of the state. The rank and
file of the democratic party believe in
democratic principles and desire to
make the party an effective instrument
in the securing of good government
The lines are drawn between these two
elements in the democratic party. So
long as the bolters could manage the
organization and misrepresent the voters
of the party just so long they shouted
for the regular organization, but as
soon as they were defeated at the pri
maries in a fair, open and manly coutest
they called their little squad out of the
convention, put up a ticket for a blind,
and voted for the republican candidates
as usual. The people cannot be deceiv
ed. The democrats who believe in the
coinage of gold and silver will support
the regular organization and send dele
gates to the regular convention. The
office-holders who regard their employ
ment as calling for their votes as well as
their official services, the idle holders
of idle capital as Mr. Carlisle called
them, and the corporation democrats
will give their aid and support to the
republican managers. If the bolters
had any idea that they were in a major
ity in the democratic party they would
go to the primaries and try to control
the regular organization, but, confessing
their inferiority in numbers by calling
a separate convention, they seek to pose
as the real democrats and brazenly at
tempt to impose on the democracy of
other states by assuming to speak for
the democrats of Nebraska."
Very recently two 6elt-styled doctors
have been forced to leave this city, on
the next train as it were, through the
action of the county medical society
Dr. Dante, the "wonder worker," and
the Old Dunker Doctor were irregular
practitioners, and the town does not
Buffer in their forced departure. The
Advertising Man of The Courier, who
had just closed an advertising contract
with Dr. Dante, is disappointed over the
loss of a prospective good customer
through the efforts of the resident phy
sicians, and he puts it something like
this: "The Lincoln doctors never adver
tise themselves, and when an outsiJer
does come along and advertises freely,
they immediately jump on him and
force him to get out of town. Of couree
he takes money out of their pockets;
but it is pretty hard on the newspapers
for the doctors who don't advertise to
crowd out those who do."
CARNATIONS 206 A DOZEN.
We are the largest growers of
carnations in the west. . . .
-All the latest fads.-

are the coming flower.
See what the New York papers say.
The Advertising Man may be justified
in feeling a little hard toward the resi
dent physicians because they do not
advertise; and there is something in his
suggestion "if the doctors want to pre
vent these outside practitioners from
coming in and intefering with their
business they have it in 1 heir power to
effectually prevent these men from get
ting a foothold. If they would them
selves take modest cards in the news
paders and show some disposition to
stand by the local newspapers the news
papers would gladly stand by them and
refuse to take this sensational adver
tising matter. As it is the newspapers
feel that they are under no obligations
to the doctors. Of course if the
Dantes' and the Dunker Doctors' did
not advertise they could not continue in
buainess." However true this may all
be it is nevertheless a good thing that
the medical society took such prompt
action. Men like the "wonder worker"
who piy their trade among the credulous
are dangerous members of society and it
is in the interest of the public "welfare
that they be suppressed.
If C. C. Burr would only assume a dis
guise and ride on the South Sevtnteenth
street car line he would hear some in
teresting remarks about the way he has
had his trees trimmed. Some of" the pas
sengers as they gaze at the badly muti
lated trees on the side walk along the
south and front of the Burr residence
become very indignant, and Mr. Burr
comes in for a good deal of criticism.
The fact that the trees are on Mr. Burr's
property should not be lost sight of.
however. If he should undertake to do
the Gladstone act and chop them all
down the public would have no particu
lar right to complain. But this does
not keep people from expressing their
opinions. It is certainly to be hoped
that this idea will not spread. Lincoln's
trees are a widely celebrated charm, and
they should be well taken care of.
